[tabtrailers] Re: What's the best way to hang curtains?

Amy, if you haven't visited KelliSue's photos, you should. Of all the T@B decor, her T@B is my favorite. I love her colors and the fabric on the cushions, the bedding...the whole kit and kaboodle.

I would like curtains, too, but want a print/color that won't match my current cushions so I'll wait. May at some point have slip covers made. I don't have the wooden valance either. I think only a few years/models do.

If the 3M hooks work, let me know. I have 3M storage trays and hooks for other items and they've worked really well.

I was also thinking of using velcro and hanging ball fringe over my plastic valance. It kind of goes with my "fun" theme.

Then we ordered cool fabric and made some simple tunnel curtains., using extra fabric for the little tie backs. I'll try and add some close ups in the album. This has worked awesomely as our model does not have the wooden valence above the windows.
